To a llt'wh om may concern:

Be it known thatjI, CEN ENNIAL JERRY, a citizen of the Unitedr States, resid cling atfl'Cumberland, in the county of Barron ,whereby thescoopmay be readily adapted for gathering stones or similar objects;fsecbond, the provision of means for the control, andre gulation of the scoop, twhen the ati at'achment1 is inuse; third, theprovision of "and State of Wisconsin, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Attach- .ments for Wheeled ScoopsrorSc T PB y which the following is a-s-pecification. A i
